Death of an Aged Citizen.-Mr. John
Casper link, who for many years had been en-
gagged in the nursery business on Bellona avenue,
a short distance above Govanstown, died on Sat-
urday last, in the 18th year of his age. Mr.. link
was native of Germany and came to this country
over fifty years ago, when he found employment
with the late Gen. Mcdonald, father of the late
William Mcdonald, of Guilford, as gardener and
florist. Some years later he purchased snug
little property on Bellona avenue (then the old
Powder Mill road) and engaged in the nursery
business, which he conducted successfully up to
the time of his death. His health had been quite
feeble for several years, and the terrible death of
his son, Henry link, who was buried alive in a
we'll on the premises, had serious effect upon
him. He leaves two daughters, one of whom is
married to Mr.. Rudolph Beck, and ten grand
children. He was highly respected by a large
number of acquaintance. Mr.. link was one Of
the charter members of Towson Lodge of Odd
Fellows and always took great interest in every
thing tending to advance the interests of the or
der. He rarely missed a lodge meeting until fail
ing health compelled him to reluctantly give up
his weekly visits to Towsontown for that purpose.
The funeral took place on Monday afternoon and
was very largely attended. Rev. Geo. c. Stokes,
rector of the P E. Church of the Redeemer Charles
street avenue, conducted the ser ices. The pail
bearers were all members of Towson Lodge, and
he was buried in accordance with the rites of the
order.
